Print Recipe

A quick and easy camping-friendly quesadilla recipe featuring crispy tortillas, creamy refried beans, and melty Pepper Jack cheese, perfect for outdoor cooking on a Blackstone griddle or stovetop.

Ingredients

  • Flour tortillas (8-inch size works best)
  • Refried beans (canned or homemade, Rosarita brand preferred)
  • Pepper Jack cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup or 50g)
  • Butter, unsalted, softened (about 1 teaspoon per tortilla)
  • Olive oil or avocado oil (for greasing the griddle)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: diced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, cooked chicken

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C). Brush the surface lightly with olive or avocado oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the refried beans with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add diced jalapeños or a little lime juice if desired. Shred Pepper Jack cheese if not pre-shredded.
  3. Butter one side of each tortilla evenly with about 1 teaspoon of softened butter. This side will be pressed against the griddle.
  4. Place one tortilla butter-side-down on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of refried beans evenly over half of the tortilla, then sprinkle about 1/2 cup (50g) of shredded Pepper Jack cheese over the beans. Fold the tortilla in half gently but firmly.
  5. Place the quesadilla on the griddle with the buttered side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy, pressing down slightly with a spatula.
  6. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
  7. Remove and let rest on a cutting board for a minute. Cut into wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  8. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Notes

If cheese isn’t melting fast enough, lower the heat to avoid burning the tortilla. Flip only once to keep quesadilla intact. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas and watch closely as they crisp faster. Vegan options include dairy-free cheese and butter substitutes. Reheat quesadillas in a skillet or griddle to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
